TellyFit0.8.2.1-signed.1-signedRequires Restart

Do you like to watch web videos while you carry on working or doing other things? This extension finds video on the page and automatically fits around it. No more fiddling around dragging window edges and scrollbars trying to get a perfect fit.

Aangaande dié byvoeging

I often watch video in one browser window while carrying on surfing or working in others. I seem to spend a lot of time trying to resize the window around the video perfectly, so as not to waste screen real-estate and to hide clutter surrounding it on its web page.

I made this extension to solve the problem. It scans through all objects on the page looking for things that might be video, and chooses the largest. Then it resizes the browser window perfectly around it. A small button then appears in another tiny window which can be clicked to restore the browser to its original state.

I hope other people might find this useful, I do!

upcoming feature ideas

possibly (if I can make it work without spoiling the simple nature of the add-on) a playlist, so you can store videos (not the actual video just a lightweight reference to where it is), to watch later.

an option to turn off all hotkeys (in case they clash with other programmes) or perhaps make them customisable via the options panel (if anybody cares about that?)

an option to add/remove the TellyFit entry from the tools menu (removed by default)

performance

I'm not really satisfied with the performance of the panel when dragged, it's glitchy and sometimes causes corrupted repainting of windows underneath it. I've relied on a floating panel for this so need to learn more about how those are implemented behind the scenes and see if I can improve or find another way to implement it

Weergawe-inligting

New features (can all be turned off via the options panel by going to Tools / Add-ons in FireFox):

drag to resize the telly window and the video will resize itself to fit (now you don't even have to zoom in and out)

button panel can follow the telly window (not available or necessary on mac)

can now handle pages with multiple videos. 'previous/next video' buttons appear when multiple videos are found, or the keyboard shortcuts (crtl+alt+left/right arrows) can be used

can dig a bit deeper to find extra videos on some pages although this does have a side-effect making it more likely to find things that aren't video (technically it includes iframes in the list of valid objects and accepts more unusual aspect ratios)
